Default cut and pasting pieces of a document to a file

Try the following macro http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm. This
copies and pastes selected text to a new document based on normal.dot.

Sub CopySelectedToNewDoc()
On Error GoTo oops
Selection.copy
Documents.Add Template:="Normal"
Selection.Paste
ActiveDocument.Save
End
oops:
MsgBox "Select the text you wish to copy first!"
End Sub

If your document is based on another template, change the template name.
